Announcing the CONNECTIONS Magazine Cover Design Contest!
Every year, DeKalb County Farm Bureau conducts the design contest as a way for 1st-5th grade students to illustrate what they learned during the Ag in the Classroom (AITC) program and other ag-related classroom experiences.
The contest theme for each grade level correlates with the AITC lesson for that grade. First, second, and third place winners are selected from each grade. The grand prize-winning design from all grades will appear as the front cover of the June 2022 issue of this magazine!
Objectives
- Encourage educators to incorporate farm and food topics in the classroom via Ag in the Classroom lessons and ag literacy resources.
